Finally...Blogspot has taken heed

After months and month of pleas on blogger's discussion groups, Blogspot has finally fixed the ugrade template technical glitch. This after I have set up a new blog with a similar, no, identical focus and theme to replace this one. Good thing I haven't deleted this blog, because now I can make use of my previous post and still take advantage of the updated features which "adventures of waray in the city" is now enjoying. The problem that remains is how am I to differentiate the two blogs; make each content for each blog distinctive and not overlap; and how to do it with the increasing limited time I have to blog (I actually have a day job apart from practicing my profession on the side, you know).

Right now reviewing both blogs, I clearly see the need to eliminate one. Only one must survive. Choices. Let me make one later....I have grown to love them both.

Happy 2nd Anniversary

The "Alat" of Samar

And you thought you carried the weight of the world on your shoulders?

This girl of barely ten travels 6 kilometers on a steep mountain trail by foot carrying an alat, a native basket, inside which is a part of her family's produce and sells them in a weekly "tabo"(open market) in a town somewhere in Samar.


The girl, after much prodding, agreed to have her picture taken

(Watch out for a more lengthy post on this unique basket in my other blog, adventures of waray in the city)

There is Always a Better Place

Just like in previous times, my blog surfing has always been a learning experience and sometimes even rewarding and inspiring. I clicked a medical blog today, one that has been on "Blogs of Note". It led me to the site of one very courageous mother and what I read there caused me some shame. You see, I've been complaining lately of so many things not going my way, obssessing on them and making the proverbial mountains out of small hills. It had made me one cranky lady these days and the hubby is starting to take notice. But, loving me as he does, he is trying to take it all in stride, just keeping his silence and letting me be. But that's another story. Anyway, the posts of this mother about all (as in ALL) three of her children's affliction with PRIMARY IMMUNO DEFFICIENCY placed my problems into its proper perspective. Needless to say, comparing what she had to go through for what could be for the whole lifetimes of her kids zapped my own problems into the molehills they should be.

Her blog is an inspiration for those who go through what could be seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their life, that "things would get better"...that there is always a better place from where we are now, that while things could still go downhill, from there, things have no where to go but up. You laugh and cry with her as she experience all the pains and joys of bringing up her children afflicted with a chronic illness, of ensuring them a life lived fully and richly notwithstanding. "Look Through Our Eyes..." tells that story
